Looking at the training contract thread, no one has heard back about a VI yetSubmitted mine on the 9th. No response as of yet. Interested if anyone else is in the same boat for the CMS WG?

No CV! Completely blind aside from the commercial question.Does anyone remember if we submit a CV to Ropes? I have just viewed the app that I submitted and cannot see any of my work experience . .
So there was definitely no section to input work experience?No CV! Completely blind aside from the commercial question.
No, they recommend you mention any work experience during interviews at the AC. 😊So there was definitely no section to input work experience?
Hey how long did it take for them to send you the test?Does anyone know how long the recording time is for the VI portion of Simmons' blended assessment?
For everything you think you did wrong, write down something you think you did right, even if it seems quite small/minor.Any tips on getting a poor interview performance out of your head? Thanks to my ADHD, I tend to hyper-focus on any errors/poorly worded answers and then spiral... 🥺
did it on 3rd nov and received email that i passed the benchmark on 6th novcongrats!! when did you do the VI?
On the pay point (and to manage people’s expectations), you don’t need to decrease people’s salaries, you just phase them out.My entire cohort for the Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme were given training contract offers! There was 31 of us, it's actually insane but I'm so glad I did this scheme. For anyone who has upcoming Summer vacation scheme at A&O, feel free to reach out for tips!
*Also, for anyone thinking about A&O, I defo recommend because now with the merger with Shearman Sterling, us trainees should hopefully get a massive pay rise to match the US firms cause I don't see how anyone at Shearman would accept a pay decrease AND if you like the USA, there'll be way more opportunities to work in NYC, DC, Texas and California.
